  • David Petraeus,  New York Times

    New York Times = Left Wing Fringe Rag

    September 13, 2007 /

    *****UPDATE*****

    Rudy Giuliani called on The New York Times to allow the campaign to purchase a full page ad at the same discounted rate they provided MoveOn.Org for their “abominable” ad attacking General Petraeus.

    News item: TIMES GIVES LEFTIES A HEFTY DISCOUNT FOR ‘BETRAY US’ AD

    The New York Times dramatically slashed its normal rates for a full-page advertisement for MoveOn.org’s ad questioning the integrity of Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq.

    Headlined “Cooking the Books for the White House,” the ad which ran in Monday’s Times says Petraeus is “a military man constantly at war with the facts” and concluded – even before he testified before Congress – that “General Petraeus is likely to become General Betray Us.”

    According to Abbe Serphos, director of public relations for the Times, “the open rate for an ad of that size and type is $181,692.”

    A spokesman for MoveOn.org confirmed to The Post that the liberal activist group had paid only $65,000 for the ad – a reduction of more than $116,000 from the stated rate.

    Left Wing Fringe Rag may be TOO mild of a term.

    Remember the ad:

    Democrat Reid: Iraq Plan Unacceptable

    Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday rejected the call by the top U.S. general in Iraq to send 30,000 U.S. troops home by next summer, saying it does not go far enough.

    “This is unacceptable to me, it’s unacceptable to the American people,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

    Reid said the recommendation by Gen. David Petraeus, expected to be embraced by President Bush in a speech to the nation on Thursday, “is neither a drawdown or a change in mission that we need. His plan is just more of the same.”

    “I call on the Senate Republicans to not walk lockstep as they have with the president for years in this war. It’s time to change. It’s the president’s war. At this point it also appears clear it’s also the Senate Republicans’ war,” Reid told a Capitol Hill news conference.

    But, will the Democrats in Congress be able to change USA Iraq War policy?

    NOPE – nor do they have the will to do so.

    Reid and Pelosi will be content to sit back and KARP on Bush hoping the United States mission eventually fails.

    Pathetic…….
